people art

Who would have thought people could be painted on to look like art?

Whether as the centerpiece of paintings like these...

Or to blend in like this in an unpainted environment...

Alexa Mead paints portraits on people. She paints live models with acrylic paint so they appear to be two-dimensional paintings of themselves!

Chinese photographer Liu Bolin is the man meticulously covered in paint so that he disappears into his surroundings. It takes up to 10 hours to prepare for a single shot.

Aren't these incredibly amazing?
